No Rain in ....forever, E-Tank to the Rescue
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:42 pm
It has been bone dry here in Connecticut. We are off close to 6" for the year.
Our neighbors well went dry today.
Donna wanted to get some water on the strawberries so I took the E-Tank out of storage and put it on my platform carrier, went down to the lake and filled the tank about 2/3 full.
Dropped the whole thing on some 6 x 6 timbers, modified the discharge to accept a hose fitting and bingo, we have water to the soaker hose. When this empties I'm going to move it further up the hill to let gravity have more of an effect.
